Project management is being increasingly recognized as a vital skill-set for many management positions, not just those with the title of “project manager”. This course provides in-depth, practical, project management training. You will discuss projects from your own organization, and review tools and templates we use every day to manage real projects.

This course is for existing project managers who are interested in learning more about formal project management techniques, and anyone who is interested in becoming a project manager.
